4. STAND-BY INDICATOR
This green LED will light up when the receiver is switched On, but
in Stand-by mode. Refer to section 1 in this chapter for more
information.
The LED will also light up when the receiver receives a remote
control command from the supplied handset.
NOTE: The Stand-by Indicator will start to flash if the receiver has
gone into 'protection' mode. This can occur if there is a short
circuit in the speaker wiring. Switch the unit off totally using the
power button on the front panel (No.1) and check all cables and
connections, both at the receiver side and all loudspeakers' side.
Once all connections have been properly restored, switch Power
(No.1) to Stand-by. Press one of the input buttons (No. 10) or the
green Stand-by button on the remote control to switch On from
Stand-by and resume normal operation.
If the problem persists, switch power off totally (No. 1) and
consult your dealer.
5. HEADPHONE SOCKET
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and
will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. The
volume, tone and balance controls are operative for headphone
listening. Use a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other
types of sockets, such as 3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo' jack plugs.
Use the Speaker A and/or Speaker B buttons (No. 2 + 3) to turn
off the loudspeakers.
NOTE: Make certain that the volume control is turned to
minimum (fully anti-clockwise) before connecting or
disconnecting headphones and engaging or disengaging Speakers
A and/or Speakers B. Listening at high levels can damage your
hearing.
6. VOLUME
The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals
being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be
adjusted from the remote control handset. The VOLUME control
GB
does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will
affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
On the remote control handset, press the MUTE Button to
temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones.
Mute mode is indicated by "AUDIO MUTE" flashing in red in the
display area. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not
affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the
signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
7. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The NAD C740 is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to
adjust the tonal balance of your system.
The 12 o'clock position is 'flat' with no boost or cut and a detent
indicates this position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase
the amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the control anti-clockwise to
decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not
affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the
signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

8. BALANCE
The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left and right
speakers. The 12 o'clock position provides equal level to the left
and right channels. A detent indicates this position.
Rotating the control clockwise moves the balance towards the
right. Rotating the control anti-clockwise moves the balance to the
left. The BALANCE control does not affect recordings made using
the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp
output (Pre Out).
9. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the
NAD C740. If the Tone Controls are not normally used and left in
the 12 o'clock position, then it is advisable to switch out the Tone
Control section altogether by using this switch. In the 'out'
position, the Tone Control circuits are active, pushing the TONE
DEFEAT switch 'in' bypasses the Tone Control section.
10. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD C740 and the
signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs and the PRE OUT
sockets. The buttons on the remote control handset duplicate
these buttons, with the exception of the tuner input; see below.
The display indicates which input has been selected.
DISC Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets as
the active input.
CD Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the
CD sockets, as the active input.
VIDEO Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets, as the active input.
AUX Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets, as
the active input.
TUNER Selects the tuner as the active input. The receiver will
return to the last selected preset or frequency. The remote control
handset has separate buttons for AM and FM; pressing either one
will select the tuner as the active input and revert to the last station
tuned to on respectively the AM or FM band.
TAPE 2 Monitor Selects the output from a tape recorder when
playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through
the Tape 2 sockets. Press the Tape 2 button once to select it and
again to return to the normal input selection.
Tape 2 is a tape Monitor function which does not override the
current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input
when TAPE 2 is selected, then the CD signal will continue to be
selected and sent to both the TAPE 1, and TAPE 2 OUTPUT sockets,
but it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape 2 that will be
heard on the loudspeakers. When Tape 2 Monitor is selected,
"TAPE 2" is indicated in the alphanumeric section of the display
for 3 seconds before it defaults to indicating the active input again.
The box just over the alphanumeric section indicating "T-2
MONITOR" will remain lit until Tape 2 is disengaged again.
TAPE 1 Selects Tape 1 as the active input.
NOTE: The remote control handset with the C740 supplied is of a
universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models.
Some buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions
aren't supported by the C740. The Video 2 and Video 3 input
selector buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in
the case of the C740.
TO MAKE A RECORDING
When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any
tape machine connected to the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUTPUTS for
recording.
